It seems, neither do you

Quote:The point is that if we discover various new things about the natural world, those are things about the natural world. It doesn't disprove the existence of the supernatural.

Well of course things we discover about the natural word are about the natural world, what we are concerned with is a coherent reason to jump to a non~natural world when we cannot find answers.

Quote: I have been arguing that the metaphysical commitments you have concerning the supernatural predetermine how you interpret empirical evidence, and determine whether you will entertain supernatural explanations

Perhaps give us a coherent reason to have metaphysical commitment to the non~natural ?
